Scared of being alone

Hi Heatherbug if you can't afford this program there is a good workbook you can probably get from your library its called the anxiety and phobia workbook by Edmund Bourne it has the same basic ideas as this program and has some good exercises to do. I know we will get through this and one day we will be alone lol if that makes sense....

Well i did it i stayed home alone last night (well with my kids but to me thats alone) I really had no choice but it doesnt matter because i did it. I had a couple minor panic attacks but kept myself busy and made my kids sleep with me lol they like that anyway so I am going to try again tonight my husband has night shifts all week so wish me luck....

Dear Reverend,
I am a very firm believer in God's power of healing. He has healed me many times. I do have to say that sometimes God works through others to help us along this journey in our lives...

I prayed for years for my healing from anxiety and panic attacks...I found my healing through this program....

I know God blessed me to find the program and He placed the tools right into my very own hands....

I believe that your healing is right in your hands, and you are just not willing to use it....

I think God gives us knowledge...
Please give the program a chance to work is my prayer for you...God Bless

That must be so hard for all of you. I think I am strange in some ways because I know people with anxiety don't like being alone, but I do. What I try to think of instead of seeing being alone as a bad thing is that it's my time. I love being able to do what I want to do when I want to do it.
I live with my boyfriend and I love spending time with him, but I find that I heal myself when I'm alone. I love being around people, but it drives me crazy when I have to deal with watching someone's show on tv that I don't like or listen to drama. I have a feeling when I close that door and I'm by myself that I'm free. No one can intrude on me with their yelling, their opinions or make me feel awkward. I do the things I love to do like read or listen to music or snuggle in a blanket with my tea and my favorite tv show and I know no one can open that door and intrude on me without my permission. I feel safe. It's a great feeling.
May be that's a good way to think of it?

Juno that is a very good way of thinking about it. I think the reason why I don't want to be alone is because of the what if's. What if I have a really bad panic attack and there will be noone here to help me? or What if there's an emergency, I'll be all by myself. These are what keeps me scared when I'm home alone, I just have to keep reminding myself that I can take care of myself, and I don't need someone else to do it. It's very hard, and frusterating!

Juno...I, also, enjoy my alone time...It can be sooo peaceful...Don't get me wrong, I love all the people in my life, but, I actually need some time to spend by myself....
